Forget lofty ideals of Kingdom humility, Christ-like servanthood and mutual submission… I’d be happy these days just being able to take people at their word without having to guess at what they really meant.

Speaking of football, does Brett Favre being traded to the Jets count as part of the Madden curse? It’s really strange seeing Favre as a Jet; stranger still to see the Madden ’09 ads featuring him a a Packer. But EA is sticking to their guns and, apparently, refusing to change the cover to Madden ’09.

Daniel — Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I get the feeling that the Packers were engaged in their own power struggle with Favre — maybe they were trying to send a message to players in the future that the team would have the upper hand in negotiations?
